THE COURT OF CANCELLATION.
A Record Which Shows Judicial Attempts to
Prevent Litigation We're Unsuccessful.

tRecord of the Court of Conciliation,p is
the title of somewhat curious volume among
the old official books in the court house that
no longer used. IL is record for part of the
year 1859 The people seem 10 have been on the
right track in those days. The folly and evil of
going into court so frequently trivial matters
was recognized, and in order to avoid much
litigation as possible a court of conciaticn was
established. Persons having any difficulty to
settle were required to appear before the judge
Of the Court of Cancellation, state their griev-
ances, and secure from him advice, free of
charge. 1t supposed he would be able to
bring about q compromise in the majority of
cases, but the record shows that such was not
the case.
Whenever q man contemplated bringing suit
it was his duty first to give the defendant
tice OF such intent and come before the Court of
Cancellation on a certain day to settle, if posi-
bio, the difference without suit. The following
is a copy of q notice sent out:

Sol. BLAIR.
The law establishing the court was enacted in
1856, and the first case came before Judge John
Cohurn Nov. 10. 1857. The last case was on
June &c 1865. and the following year the law
repealed There records OF just fifty
cases in which notice for Cancellation was given,
and in but four FIVE did the parties become re-
conced. In the majority of cases the persons
TO whom notice was given failed appear. and
the proceedings dropped for want of offend
to appear" The intent of the law was good,
but in practice it didn't prove a success, and it
was wiped from existence for something better

The Cow Must Go.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
An item appeared in your local columns Satur-
day, stating that South-siders are indignant be-
cause q pound has been opened on the South
Side This may be a correct statement as to the
views of tho cow-owners, but is not true of the
vast majority Of property owners on the South
Side, whose lawns and gardens are continually at
the mercy of marauding cows. Why should not
the cow ordinance be enforced on tho South
Side, as we'll as on the North Sidel Why should
not we, who are-cwners of property this side
of the city, be protected We should have that
protection from cows that would enable us to
tear down; our fences, being done in the
north part of the city. Chief Travis Is heartily
Endorsed by a majority of South-sde citizens
for establishing the COW pound, and he should
enforce the law to the letter. ANTICo
